When Should You See An Allied Health Professional at ChiroCure Clinic!?
How Can The ChiroCure Clinic Team Help With These Issues? At the ChiroCure Clinic we provide evidence-based treatment protocols that focus on improving the musculoskeletal system to help with the pain and discomfort people experience. This is accomplished by using different techniques and modalities of treatment based on patient requirements. Our experienced Chiropractors, Osteopaths and Massage Therapists will complete a thorough assessment of your condition / problem to ensure we know exactly how we are able to help. Our approach to treatment may include manual adjustments, handheld adjustments, manual assisted techniques, soft tissue techniques, rehabilitation exercises & personalised rehab manuals, depending on your problem/s and allied health professional you are with! How Does Osteopathy & Chiropractic Help With Your Pain? Dr. Matt Explains ABOUT PAIN Pain is our body’s mechanism of alerting us when there is something we are doing wrong for our bodies. Meaning that if we want to continue to operate to the best of our abilities, we must create a change in both our habits and behaviours. If we do not, the pain can return and at times worse than before! As pain disappears and the body begins to feel like it's as good as new again the question is… What will you be doing differently next time to avoid this pain!? If the answer is NOTHING, then using osteopathic or chiropractic treatment to your advantage to help decrease the severity of flare ups/relapses is ideal! Why? Because many of the injuries we manage are caused by poor posture and overuse injuries! We offer the rehabilitation needed to overcome these issues! HOW OSTEOPATHY & CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT CAN HELP!? The Chiropractic and Osteopathic team at the ChiroCure Clinic understand that pain is best managed by creating long term changes! Firstly, the pain needs to be alleviated with adjustive techniques or low force techniques to the spine, soft tissue massage to the surrounding musculature and accompanied by an exercise regime to help make the changes needed to influence bad habits and behaviours! Many of our patients seek Chiropractic or Osteopathy care for conditions such as headaches, neck pain, back pain, sports injury and postural related issues! By creating a change to your musculoskeletal system, it will enable you to function to the best of your abilities. If you are seeking treatment which will help restore your structural and functional health our chiropractors and osteopaths at the ChiroCure Clinic are here to help get you back on track!

The Foam Roller The Foam Roller is great for increasing mobility throughout your spine and extremities. You can focus on loosening tight and tender muscles, through direct pressure or stretching over the foam roller. It is a great tool that you can easily store and use anywhere at home that will help you strengthen and protect your body. We offer a detailed manual with images and descriptions, created by one of our chiropractors, to assist you to create a personalised rehabilitation program. Manuals can be purchased online and mailed out, as well as supplied in PDF form so you can view it on your phone or tablet!!! Ask Your Chiropractor about these products and how they can help you reach your health goals while at home. | The Resistance Band A tool prescribed regularly by your Chiropractor to help correct postural abnormalities, strengthen weak muscles or muscle groups and stretch those that are tight and tender. Resistance Bands are a great alternative when you are not able to attend the gym, as it gives you the ability to strengthen or stretch specific muscles or muscle groups anywhere in your own home. The Resistance band can be accompanied by detailed direction through rehabilitation from your Chiropractor. Exercises aim to: Increase range of motion through specific movements, improve muscle Strength through Isometric, eccentric or concentric exercises & decrease Muscle tightness through stretching | Spikey Ball Last but not least, the Spikey ball is fantastic at pinpointing specific muscles that are tight and causing restrictions through movement. It plays a similar role to your Foam Roller, but with more specificity. Through correct application the spikey ball can be used to complete self myofascial release exercises as well as trigger point therapy and massage in your own home. Exercise manuals aim to: Release tight and tender muscles, prevent muscular pain and spasms, & lengthen muscles to reduce pull causing misalignment. |

Attention valued patients & friends:
Chiropractic is considered an essential health service.
Because of this, we are currently OPEN as usual.
The role chiropractic has to play in the current climate is one of importance - bearing the load and reducing an influx to the local GPs and or the emergency department.
Chiropractic Care is aimed at helping the nervous system flourish and work optimally. Please note that during this time we will continue to strictly enforce the high cleaning and safety procedures, in addition to thorough screening protocols.
We are receiving constant updates and information from the Australian Health Department and Australian Chiropractors Association.
We understand that you may not be able to physically come into our office, therefore we are offering Online Telehealth Appointments that can be booked either through our website or calling us on (03) 9313 5133.
The Australian government has released new health care medicare claim codes that help alleviate some of the financial stress so you can access these services.
Please see below a schedule of the fees and the out of pocket gap.
A description of each service is available through our online booking portal to see which best suits you @ https://www.chirocure.net/gclid=CjwKCAjwvOHzBRBoEiwA48i6AqUKGTIiC2xUV2ti6AJ0yX_PhF1c_g8tpPThNx3EznoO2OdzqEXZWBoCuv4QAvD_BwE

So, as we all know, Corona Virus is everywhere. People are panicking, buying all the toilet paper they can and ducking for cover when they hear a cough. I thought, it’s not worth panicking, just be smart, practice excellent hygiene habits, especially at work where I see so many different people, people who have different health problems that could put them or their families more at risk of serious complications with this virus.
Then I found out I was potentially exposed to it by someone else. And then I started to get sick, so i followed the guidelines, called the hotline, talked to the GP, got tested and am now self-isolating until I get my results.

Dr Rach tested negative... While it was a welcome few days off at first, I am already bored and struggling. It is hard to go from speaking to, being around and connected to people every day, to suddenly being by myself. I can’t grab a cup of coffee (HORROR), I can’t go to work (stressful), and I can’t go to the gym (that one might be a relief for now!).
Once I started feeling better, I started trying to do things that were somewhat productive. My room has literally never been this clean, I’ve finished a book I’ve long been meaning to read and have binged a LOT of Netflix.
However, it can be stressful, boring and lonely. I am very thankful for my friends and family, who have been very supportive – offering to bring me food, or just calling for a chat or messaging to check on how I’m doing.
That is the best thing you can do for someone if they are in isolation – let them know they aren’t alone, that you’re there for them if they need someone. If you are the one in isolation, and are feeling this way, reach out to someone. Keep yourself busy, eat healthy fresh food to support your body, keep moving, and if you need to, switch off from all the corona virus news.

Dr Tania demonstrating some rehab exercises We at ChiroCure have been brainstorming ideas on ways we can provide the best support for you, our patients. We know getting adjusted helps the function of your nervous system.
